The Green Hand filmed in Athens in 1939 features UGA students and faculty along with numerous local residents. This tale of a juvenile delinquent mentored into joining the FFA where he makes a success of himself, saves his mother's farm from foreclosure and gets the girl premiered at the Georgia Theatre in January of 1940.

The 1936 Cordele film and the 1947 Swainsboro film were made by itinerant filmmakers; a niche market in filmmaking from the 1920s through the 1950s. These men traveled various regions of the country with camera and film, usually partnering with the chamber of commerce to photograph people and businesses in town. The films were then shown at the local movie theater where townsfolk flocked to pay to see themselves on the screen.

"The handbook of Avian Hybrids is an impressive accomplishment, one that can be equally savored by browsing birders and appreciated by serious scholars" says Rick Wright, editor of the American Bird Association.

Dr. McCarthy says "As it turns out, many avian hybrids are not sterile. The ability of such hybrids to produce offspring has important implications for how we think about natural populations and the origin of nw organismal types".

The colorful display was created by Lora Bergstrom, Science Reference student assistant. Specimens are on loan from the Georgia Museum of Natural History (http://museum.nhm.uga.edu/ ).
